Haiti survivor credits iPhone medical app

An NBC affiliate in Miami, Florida has a report about an American film producer, Dan Woolley, who was trapped in the ruins of a hotel in Port-Au-Prince, Haiti during last week’s earthquake. Woolley used the light from his digital camera to examine his broken foot and head wound. He then used a medical application on his iPhone to look up how to dress his wounds, which included a broken foot and a head wound, according to the report. Woolley said that during the 65 hours that he spent in the ruined hotel’s elevator shaft, he also looked up symptoms for shock using his iPhone medical app. Woolley told his story to NBC in the video clip below:

Maybe he – uh – did! Maybe it took that long to get rescued. Ahaaa look at every angle now.

Becasue he probably didn’t have a wireless connection. They story never says he used the internet, rather it says that he used an app (which is a program that resides on the device itself and does not necessarily use the internet or even need an internet connection).
